Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I'm hoping the characters get tweaked a significant bit here and there. The top few need at least a small bump down, and the bottom few could use a pretty decent leg up.
I have a Kitana Kode
I'd like to trade it for something else
Don't forget the superman also automatically puts you in the corner. That's a BIG deal.
Think the final of that one was an Ermac vs Reptile.
I expect either Raiden's teleport or Superman will get toned down a little. Not both, but probably one or the other.
Barrabas I saw a twitter saying Baraka will get some love, and Kano's forward+FK will be turned into a low attack. Rejoice.
Edit: Hahaha, Ed Boon's twitter:

If you guys are from philly and want to start hitting up the local spots let me know. There's a tournament this weekend in university city at the arcade. They're doing SSF4:AE, MVC, and MK (and some other shit). It's not huge, but it sounds pretty good. I'm most likely going to be out of town (in vegas for the PDP tournament) but I'm definitely trying to hit up all the local tournaments this year.
I live in south philly btw.

I don't think Raiden needs to be nerfed, not in those ways.
Nerf the stuff about him that's actually interesting and fun and everyone loses.
I'll trade you for a sandwich and some chocolate.
:edit: This is a terrible TOTP

Nope
Althoug it seems these codes are not of equal value
If we are thinking of the same stream it was at power-up, and he switched to raiden, spent a ton of time spamming superman and either barely won or ended up losing. I think. It definitely happened but I am sketchy on the outcome.

Sorry, I'm ass end in florida. Meh, no one plays around here save in the big cities.
Come on Red, you can do better than threaten. Don't tell me you quit the game already before I had a chance to beat your face in properly.

Also: Please stop with the stock ululating background vocals to add 'flavor' to the scenes and beat us over the head with how generically exotic everything is. Just. Stop.
Also the actresses playing Mileena and Kitana looked like high school cheerleaders.

If anyone wants to get scrappy before the next one gets going (fingers crossed here), gamertag is Mitchapaloozaa
I'm on the list, but I joined late and only added Turkey
I'll have to check it out sometime.
Masume, I haven't played too much of anything lately I think. I've played some WWE All-Stars (which is a pretty fun game), but that is about it. I don't know about this week, but I should be good to go next week.
Also, Baraka sucks so so bad.
Good games with masume - got my ass whooped hard a few times.

GG's man, your Lui Kang is pretty nice. Same on the Kano too, I just think Kano is too limited on what he can do. Same with Cage really, but I think Cage does a lot more damage on average. Plus hey, nut punch!
Sub Zero gives me a lot of trouble on my more aggressive characters, so I like those kinds of fights. Makes me think. Kitana is awesome though, even when I don't know jack about her she is nasty. I should pick her up as a fourth.

Obvious question, but the PS3 costume codes are pretty much irredeemable until PSN is back up, right?
Yeah. I'm sitting on my classic Jade costume code until it's back up.
On a side note I hear Kano is getting some buffs in the upcoming balance patch including making his forward 3 hit low. This pleases me.
Gooteks and M. Ross do MK
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy3vPHOF9kw&sns=em
Gooteks is a pretty good SF player, and they also do MvC3 stuff. Entertaining duo to watch.
Screw it, I'm done. More done than before. I hope i can get a refund on this mess.
I had a suspicion that Sony were pulling the strings with MK, of course this could all be bollocks. But this game really ain't all that.
What street would that be?
To bitch this much about it I'm sure you've played it enough to have gotten your money's worth.

If you get hit with a projectile while using it he does a counter move. And I think if you do the powered-up version of it, it will counter any sort of attack rather than just projectiles.
Ive completed the story mode which is well done apart from the dreaedful ending, broken bosses and no abillity to skip cutscenes.
The Challenge tower starts off well enough but quickly descends into random (and I mean random) nonsense that I've long since abandoned. I much preferred DA's kombo tutorial where you had a narrative that taught you the combos and moves for every character.
Deception had better singeplayer content. The Krypt rewards here are anaemic at best. Beyond the extra costume (most of which are barely any different) and the second fatalities the rest is rubbish.
I would like to have gotten my money's worth from the online but it doesn't work at all.
The gameplay is fun enough. The graphics are good, but this is anot a deep fighting game. Too few options and the characters largely (and in some cases significantly) play the same.
Is that the one where he comes at you from the top of the screen? I saw it on Ross and gooteks, and they were wondering what it was (me too honestly)
On the online, and to ghost writer.
I've seen a lot of bitching about it, and the netcode is something to bitch about. I've had a lot of great matches with stable connections, but some things with tight timing were hard go get off, but that's the case in Marvel and SF4. Although sometimes it is really bad.
But compared to Marvel, the only thing it's lacking is fight request during arcade and training. Everything else (besides the netcode which I havent experienced as consistently bad as most of you, then again I'm on fiber) is better.
SSF4? Ok, no, but even capcom took a step back with marvel. That lobby system nay as well not exist.
So from SSF4 to MK all we're missing is the netcode (pretty important I agree bit it hasn't been as bad as some claim for me) and replays. It's still superior to marvel, minus the request feature in arcade which they need to patch in as it makes waiting seem seamless, and that's it. I can still bitch about SSF4 not ever patching in the superior tourney mode patched into vanilla. Online isn't as bad as many would claim, or maybe I've just been lucky playing the hours I do (past midnight pSt) and my connection helps.
It's not take it back to the store bad to say the least.
And the story mode is as long as many single player games nowadays.
But your venomous. Either your favorite Karacter didn't make it in or maybe you work for Kapcom. I've just never seen so much rage, especially since they can't even release a patch as they seem to have a deal with Sony.
Here's some silly shenanigans with Kung Lao:

Now I know that just looks stupid, but according to the accompanying text on Testyourmight, it's a reset, probably even a glitch. After an enhanced Hat Throw, for some reason the opponent is incapable of blocking which allows for a free hit... Right back into that kombo. It's got very specific applications: You'd need 100% meter at the start of the round and your opponent has to have less than roughly 10% so they can't build up to a breaker, but the damage scaling is resetting after every EX Hat Throw.
There are 3 smoke specials where he will drop out of sky with a knee to the face. One is the normal shake which only counters projectiles. Apparently you can do it on reaction, but I cannot. The other 2 are EX moves. Shake and his teleport punch. The EX shake will counter anything but low attacks, so jump ins, uppercuts, most combo-starters, whatever.
The ex teleport does 2 hits, and then will drop from the sky. The 3rd hit has to be blocked high.

That's the best kind of win. It's like a super win.
